Verdict

Kauto Grand Mogul landed a Limerick bumper in March before a narrow defeat by the very promising Martello Tower at Fairyhouse. A half-brother to Kauto Star, there's much more to come from him. Some Drama has had eight runs over timber without winning but has come up against some decent rivals so can't be dismissed. The Shaughraun should do better over further but Wexford Bridge is improving and will be suited by this trip. URANNA arrives from France after three bumper runs and with ground conditions to her liking plus the mares allowance she can make a successful debut for Willie Mullins.
